I finally broke down and dropped $415 on the V1. I got ANOTHER ticket, this is 18th or 20th tocket I've had so far... and I've only had a liscence for a little over 3 years.
I'll be sure to let you guys know how it turns out.

Ouch! 18-20 TICKETS in 3 years? The cops must hate you man.

How fast were you going?

**bitcore** · 07-01-2005, 12:21 PM

Oh, he didn't clock me today, I could tell after his 2nd sentence.
"Good afternoon, I'm sure you know that I pulled you over for speeding. Do you have any idea how fast you were going?"

That question, often times, (esp. when traffic is heavy and you were not exactly in direct radar\lidar sight) is not rethorical and they didn't clock you but noticed you were definately speeding in relation to the traffic around you. If I said like 90, he probably would have written it down, or just proceded to give me a warning ticket like I got.
"exceding speedlimit in a 65 mph zone"

Just an annoyance ticket, but it's in a county thats about 50 miles from home, so screw it I'm hiring a lawyer.

oh, I dunno I was probably doing 95-100. I was going 75 in a 65 all the way down I-40 for about an hour and was remenescing about what I did last night, I got excided because of it and the music I had playing and decided to do a little speeding burst. Floored it and about 7 seconds later I checked the onramp I was passing and saw a trooper just clocking people and proceded my evasive actions :P
I saw him rolling and knew right then that he saw something he didn't like so I just moved on over to the middle right lane (it's 4 lane most of the way) and dropped it down to 70. I immediately slowed down and got cars inbetween me and him so he couldn't get a reading on me. We BOTH knew he had me, I was just attempting to cover my ass incase he didn't actually clock me, which he didn't. (Or he was just nice and gave me a warning and he actually DID clock me)

It sucked cause I just wanted to go fast for a good minute out of a 2.3 hour drive. :/ BAD timing.

You know that's no fun. What if you're on your deathbed saying "Why did I have to drive normal all those years? Now I have nothing to look back on..."

**Torque** · 07-01-2005, 12:52 PM

Well, I drive like a ass too, but in 2 years I got ZERO tickets.

DEATH2000 · 07-01-2005, 12:58 PM

man that sucks, let us know how the V1 works out

witeshark · 07-01-2005, 01:23 PM

Hope your luck gets better. As I've said, here it's hard to speed. But umm every now and then... but I have had good luck

Actually, the reason they ask that question and word it that way is to get you to admit guilt. A lot of times they are taping/recording the stop..... video.....

Yah exactly.

Apparently you guys don't know the section of business I-85, I-85, and I-40 (business intertwines with I-40 for a while) inbetween raleigh\greensboro and High point, and I-85 from charlotte... State troops love those highways and I'm on them every day, often times on the weekend.
6 lanes wide - speed limit 65... YAH RIGHT... *Everyone* goes 75, and the troopers love nailing people doing 80

Oh yah, my odo hit 111,111 this morning :P

**RealBmw 02** · 07-01-2005, 04:07 PM

sorry to hear about the ticket. I'm surpirsed you still have your license after getting your 18-20th ticket.

Hope the V1 helps out

**Torque** · 07-01-2005, 04:30 PM

You are breaking the law regardless of if everyone is doing it or not. They're just doing their job.

**BMWbeauty416** · 07-01-2005, 04:32 PM

THAT MANY TICKETS AND YOU STILL HAVE YOUR LICENCE!?

~*Teg*~

**xsperf** · 07-01-2005, 06:53 PM

torque is just jealous b/c its impossible for him to get a ticket unless he is driving his dads car.
